According to the latest data from CyberMedia Research (CMR), Samsung is "losing its earlier firm grip" with its share declining to 16.5 percent at the end of December 2014 from 20.3 percent at the beginning of the year.
According to the research firm's India Monthly Mobile Handsets Market Review - for calendar year (CY) 2014, India mobile handsets market grew by 4 percent to 257 million units in terms of shipments over 2013.
Of this, Samsung captured 16.5 percent of the shipments, followed by Micromax and Microsoft (Nokia) at 13.3 percent each, it added.
